1. Check your landline phone is working. Make sure your phone is plugged into the same socket that your broadband uses when it comes into your property. Is there a dial tone?

2. Turn your router off and on again. This is perhaps the simplest fix of them all but it can solve lots of problems.Switch your router off.Wait for 30 seconds. Switch your router on. Wait for all the lights to come on green.

Be patient, it can take 3-4 minutes before everything comes back online again, and sometimes your ISP may take longer to reconnect your router.

4. Is the Power on?This may sound silly, but have you got electricity to the socket? Are there lights on the Router?If not then the socket may be dead, or the cable to the router or the “power brick” may be dead. Do not mess about with electricity, if in doubt call a qualified electrician.
